Another way that you can use to load xml data in Flex is by using the URLLoader class.

To use the URLLoader class you must:

• define a new URLLoader:
  var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
• add an event listener to the newly created URLLoader:
  loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
• call the load method of the newly created URLLoader:
  loader.load(new URLRequest(url));

The load() method of the URLLoader class takes a URLRequest parameter.
In this example I created a new URLRequest and in the URLRequest’s constructor I used the url parameter. instead of url I could used directly “xmlFile.xml” and I would have get the same result.

• define the xmlLoaded function that will parse the loaded data
